ABOUT THE ROLE

As the modern CPUs and GPUs keep evolving, modern databases can take advantage of the massively parallel processing capabilities provided by both of them. As a database engineer you will design and write the code at the very heart of a distributed database rethinking the way Ignite executes SQL queries and exploiting massive parallelization as well as other CPU/GPU capabilities to dramatically speed the system up.

Required Job Duties:

  • Design and develop enhancements for query execution runtime: do research, check ideas, design and code query engine optimizations for GPU execution.
  • Develop enhancements for distributed SQL engine based on Apache Calcite™ for both Apache Ignite™ and GridGain™: implement new planner optimization rules, update cost function ro reflect GPU execution features, enhance query code generation.
  • Contribute to data storage format and transactional protocol development to enable native GPU support and minimize data transformation for GPU memory transfer.
  • Influence the development of open source Apache Ignite project.

  • Hands-on experience with GPU development (CUDA or OpenCL)
  • Hands-on experience with vectorized CPU execution (SIMD, SSE, AVX)
  • Understanding of query execution pipeline (query planning and execution)
  • Experience with concurrent programming
  • 5+ years experience as a Software Engineer
  • Eager to read (in English), understand and present to the team cutting-edge academia field results (SIGMOD, VLDB, etc.)

The following will be a strong plus:

  • Experience with building distributed systems/algorithms, experience with distributed/NoSQL/NewSQL databases
  • Experience with ClickHouse or RocksDB
  • Experience building database query execution pipelines
  • Experience building database storage engines
